First Bank & Trust will offer a free document shredding service to residents at its Central Street branch, 2925 Central, this Saturday, April 24, between 11 am and 1 pm. Customers and non-customers alike may bring up to 25 pounds of paper for secure shredding.
Throwing away private documents such as receipts, old financial and bank statements, or medical records can expose you to risk of identity theft if unscrupulous persons sift through garbage, whether privately or publicly collected. Shredding offers far greater security, while simultaneously making it easier for paper to turn to compost. If you've been hoarding stacks of private papers you no longer need or want, but have been afraid to toss into an alley bin, take advantage of this neighborly offer from the folks at FB&T.
